EPCOT After Hours: Strategy

[texaslady22]

We're taking the kids for a quick trip and only doing EPCOT and Typhoon Lagoon after hours.

It's been a couple of years since we've been to Disney, so riding the new rides at EPCOT is our priority (Remy, GoG, Frozen).

A few questions:
1. Should I buy an ILL for GoG before the event starts? We'll be able to enter the park at 7 pm.
2. Any ideas on the best strategy? We only have 6 hours in the park, so we want to make sure we're making the most of them.
3. What resort would be a good choice for dinner before we head to EPCOT around 6:30?

We'll just generally take any tips you have.

1. Yes the ILL will probably be worth it. You might be able to ride it again waiting in SB.
2. Other than your ILL, if you can stay late, you might want to wait on the headliner rides as late as possible, when the waits should be shorter.
3. Boardwalk or Yacht/Beach, since they are walking distance to Epcot.

If you read the giant after hours thread, the results are actually the opposite of this. Everyone waits until the end to ride Guardians, and the lowest wait times tend to be in the middle of the event. Also waiting until the end puts you out of luck if the ride goes down.
